Could this strange light in the sky over Melbourne be a UFO?







AN object with flashing red, green and blue lights spotted hovering over Melbourne’s southeast last night was mostly likely a gyrocopter fitted with LED lights.



Residents reported seeing the light over Carnegie for more than two hours.


“It’s really weird,” Toni Koromilas said, taking a video of the flashing lights from her sister’s Carnegie home.

“Someone said it could be a helicopter but it’s not moving, it’s been there for an hour now.


“We could be way off track, it could just be a plane, but it’s bizarre.”



The strange lights were most likely a gyrocopter with LED lights, says Perry Vlahos.

Ami Hasson said on his Facebook page that he observed the lights for 2.5 hours above Carnegie.


“It was moving around in different directions ... it looked like a ball from a distance but once I went out to film it and zoomed in I was amazed by it,” he wrote.


“It looked like it had a dark square main body with no lights on it but with around 4-6 colourful arms, reminded me of an octopus.


“Many people can think many things ... I think that we had visitors.”


Perry Vlahos, from the Astronomical Society of Victoria, is voting something else.


“A few weeks ago I was driving over Carnegie and I saw something hanging in the sky,” he said.


“If we’re referring to the same thing it’s just a gyrocopter that someone is flying and outfitted with LED lights to make it a little more impressive.”


Melbourne gets an average one UFO sighting a week.
